Afghan Cairo Rug – Finest Gazne Wool, Inspired by Old Egypt
Description
Afghan Cairo Rug Collection – A Legacy of Middle Eastern Craft
Inspired by the grandeur of old Egypt, the Afghan Cairo Rug Collection pays homage to historic designs first brought to life by Middle Eastern weavers who set up their craft in Egypt centuries ago. Today, this tradition continues with even greater refinement in the skilled hands of Afghan artisans.
Heritage Meets Excellence
Crafted in Afghanistan and expertly finished in Pakistan, each Cairo rug is woven from the finest Gazne wool—sourced from local sheep known for producing exceptionally strong and lustrous fibers. Afghan weaving stands apart for its meticulous detail and sophisticated execution, surpassing the refinement often found in similar Pakistani or Indian interpretations.
Authenticity in Every Thread
Dyed using natural pigments, these rugs carry a soft, time-worn elegance that will enrich your home for decades. The intricate patterns, rooted in ancient Egyptian motifs, are reimagined in fresh, modern color palettes that complement both classic and contemporary interiors.
A Modern Take on Tradition
The Cairo collection blends history with innovation, creating a bridge between old-world artistry and today’s design sensibilities. The result is a floor piece that feels timeless yet refreshingly current—luxury you can see, feel, and live with.
Own a piece of living history—where the elegance of old Egypt meets the mastery of Afghan weaving.
